IBe it' known that; 1, 051cm M. :VVOLFF,

a citizen of the United States ofA-merica,

and a; resident ofChicago, in thecounty of vation of;the same. ,j Fig.'3 is an end elevation of qthe bracket.

sectional, detail taken on the line h-e-A of detail pa'rtly sectional asviewed from the plane of. the line B-"--B of-Fig. 2.

In .the "construction shown in :the draw,-

ings;v the bracket comprises an uprightpart 1 hav ng a horizontal part2ntegrally have threaded engagement forrhdthereon 'at.the upper iendnAfoot or pad 3 isintegrally. formed at thelower end of the upright part 1hp meansl of wh ch the bracket is adapted to e secured tqthe counter orsupporting member 4 by screws or bolts 5." The upright part 1 of thebracket is preferablj of T-shaped cross section, having a transversefiange 6 and a web 7 A clamping member, herein. shown in the form of aplate 8, is adjustably mounted on adapted to engage the edges ofadjacent vertical glass panels 9 and 10 between 'sai plate and the outerface of the transverse flange 6. The clamping plate 8 is held in place.by means of screws or bolts 11' which with the outer ends of thethreaded apertures 13 extending through the web part 7 of the bracket. Asecond clamping member or plate 15 is adjustably mounted on the upperface of the horizontal part 2 of the bracket, being adapted to engagethe edgesof adjacent horizontalglass partitions between the plate 15 andthe upper face of the horizontal part 2. The gripping faces of theclamping members 8 and 15 and the bracket are form of bracket for. glasscounter construction having improved Fig. 2 is a transverse sectionalelega pe large 2; ,Fig. 5"is an enlarged fragmentary.

padded with strips of felt, or other suitable I material 14, so as toprevent injury to the edgcs of the panels.

In orler to obtain a more rigid support fortransverse panelpartitionsjlii, such as that shown n the drawings, a channel member 17is secured to the inner face "of the web part 7 of the bracket. llhechannel plate 17 is held in place. by means ;of "fiat lat headed screws18 located in the inner ends of the threaded apertures 13, the heads ofthe screws being countersunk into the channel member. The channel memberembraces. the vert cal. edge of the panel 16 through out its entireheight so as to form a rigidv support thereforalong the outer edge. Theinner end of the clamping plate .15 is bent downwardly as at 19, and hasa notch 20 formed therein so as to provide depending shoulders 21 whichare adapted to embrace the edge of the panel partition 16 adjacent tothe inner end of the horizontal part 2.

The foot 3 is provided with a recess 22 located in alinement with theweb. 7 ofthe.

bracket and adapted to engage the lower outer corner'of the panelpartition 16 thereby avoiding the necessity of grinding that cornerofjth'e glass in order to bbtain a close fit to the bracket along itsouter edge. A. channel member '23 may be secured to the counter 4 inalinement with the bracket, so

as to embrace and support the lower edgev of the panel partition 16.This channel member is secured to the counter abutting against the foot3, and having the channel' in alinement with the recess 22in the foot 3.

Although but one specific embodiment of this invention has been hereinshown and described, it will be understood that some of theouter; faceof the transverse flange'G and v 'the details of the construction shownmay 'be altered 'or "omitted "without departing d from the. spiritofthis invention as defined by the following claims.

I claim: 1. The combination of a bracket of T-' shaped cross-section,means for securing said ,face of the web part of said bracket andadapted to embrace the edge of a transverse Horizontally -disposed partat the upper end thereof, a foot on the upright part of said bracketadapted to be used for securing said bracket to .a counter, a clampingmember mounted on the outer face of the upright part of said bracket andadapted to engage the edges of adjacent vertically disposed glass panelsbetween said member and the face of said bracket, a second clampingmember mounted on the upper face of said horizontal part and adapted toengage the edges of adjacent horizontally disposed glass panels be tweensaid member and the upper face of said horizontal part, said foot havinga recess formed therein adapted to receive the lower.

corner of a transverse panel, and depending shoulders on said secondclamping member adapted to embrace the adjacent edge of said transversepanel.

3. The combination of a bracket having a horizontally disposed part atthe upper end thereof, a foot on the upri ht part-of said bracketadapted to be used for securing said bracket to a counter, a clampingmember mounted on the outer face of the upright part of said bracket andadapted to engage the edges of adjacent vertically disposed glass panelsbetween said member and the face of said bracket, a second clampingmember mounted on, the upper face of said horizontal part and adapted toengage the edges of adjacent horizontally disposed glass panels betweensaid member: and the upper face of said horizontal part, said foothavinga recess formed therein adapted to receive 7 the lower corner ofa-transverse panel, and

4. The combination of a bracket having a horizontally disposed part atthe upper end thereof, means for securing said bracket to a counter, aclamping member mounted on the outer face of the upright part of saidbracket and adapted to engage the edges of adjacent vertically disposedglass panels between said member and the face of said bracket, a secondclamping member mounted on the up er face of said horizontal part andadapted to engage the edges of adjacent horizontally disposed glasspanels between said member and the upper face of said horizontal part, achannel member secured to the inner face of the upright part of saidbracket and adapted to embrace the edge of a transverse vertical panel,and shoulders depending from .said second clamping member and embracingthe adjacent edge of said transverse panel.

5. The combination of a bracket having a horizontally dis osed part atthe upper end thereof, means or securing said bracket to a counter, aclamping member mounted on the outer face of the upright part of saidbracket and adapted to engage the edges of adjacent vertically disposedglass panels between said member and the face of said bracket, a secondclamping member mounted on the upper face of said horizontal part andadapted to -engage the edges of adjacent horizontally disposed glasspanels between said member and the upper face of said horizontal part,and 'a channel member secured to the inner face of the upright part ofsaid bracket and adapted to embrace the edge of a transverse verticalpanel the outer end of said second clamping member being bent downwardlyand having a notch formed therein adapted to provide a pair of shouldersembracing the adjacent edge of said transverse panel.
